Hello.
Around Christmas time, my older brother made himself a new beefy computer and decided to give me his older one (one that his friend built for him ~5 years ago). It was working perfectly fine for a couple of months until one day.
I was browsing the internet, as usual, and readjusted in my seat a little. When I did this, I accidentally bumped the side of the tower with my knee. Not hard enough, I think, to have really done any damage, but apparently it was enough. As soon as it happened, the computer shut off completely. Startled by this, I tried to turn it back on, and I was faced with the same problem that has plagued me to this day. The power button does absolutely nothing. No lights, no fans, nothing. I tried the simple things like changing my power cord, and did a fair share of looking online, but no case really seemed to match mine.
I've never posted on this site before, so I apologize if the format is a little bit off. Can someone tell me what I can look for? What I can send pictures of? Or, at the very worst, where I can go to get help in person? I'm not really great with the hardware involved with computers, so I'm not entirely confident in my abilities to notice something out of place, because I don't know what to look for.
Sorry again for such a little amount of information, but any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
